Care for Others

Giving presents or gifts is also a way to give more attention to other people. This tradition will train and teach everyone to care for others and to reduce the tendency of being self-oriented or selfish. People will think about what people need, what others want, and the conditions that will make others feel better.

Make Other People Happy
